The Jaguars girls danceline squad performed on Saturday at the Melrose Invitational. The High Kick placed 5th and the Jazz Funk team took first.
**Game of the week: This is gonna be a barn burner, no doubt... Jaguars boys basketball @ Pierz on Tuesday night (Jan 6) for their Central Minnesota Conference opener. Both teams have been mentioned in most basketball circles as favorites to win the CMC crown. Pierz is 5-1 overall, while the Jaguars are 6-1 going into this game.
The B-B-E vs. Pierz matchup has brought many memorable games over the years. In 2001-2002, the 3rd year the Jaguars were in the Central Minnesota Conference, a buzzer-beater shot sent the Jaguars home from Pierz with a 71-69 loss. That would be one of only two losses in CMC play that season, as their other league loss was a barn burner before an electrified crowd of 800 fans at the B-B-E high school against Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted, eventual CMC champions that year with a 13-1 record. The Jaguars finished 12-2. The following season, the Jaguars finished 11-3, also one game out of gaining CMC hardware.
In 2004-2005, the Jaguars traveled to Pierz and came home as 74-69 victors and a 9-1 overall record in the 10th game of that season. That was the last season that the Jaguars would advance to a section final, losing 58-56 to Battle Lake in the 5A championship tilt.
More to follow.
Hopefully the weather cooperates and a large B-B-E crowd will be able to make the trip on Tuesday night.
The Jaguars girls basketball team has two home games this week. On Tuesday night, the Jaguars host Melrose, a team I have marked as "winless" although all my sources may not be 100% accurate. On Thursday night, the Jaguars host the Kimball Area Cubs in the 3rd Central Minnesota Conference game of their season. The Cubs are 2-4 overall and 0-2 in the CMC, although one of their league losses was 47-45 to Maple Lake.
The Jaguars wrestling team travels to the sparkling new Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted high school (south of Howard Lake about 2 miles) on Tuesday night for a CMC Triangular. The Jaguars will face Pierz in the opening dual, which begins at 5pm.
They host an 8-team tournament on Friday night beginning at 3:30pm at the B-B-E High School. In the 2007-2008 season, Pierz went 5-2 in the CMC (good for 2nd place), while HL-W-W was 4-3 in the league (good for a tie with Eden Valley for 3rd place). Pierz was 11-18 overall, with HL-W-W finishing 11-9 overall.
The Jaguars went 9-11 overall and 3-4 in the CMC.
